P is for Pumpkin - Wishing Seeds and Jack-O-Lantern Wards

Witchcraft From A to Z

Welcome Witches to Witchcraft from A to Z, your go-to witchy podcast for finding the magic hidden among the mundane! My name is Elaine Evergreen, a practicing witch of over 15 years now and I'll be your host this week.

Since it is the first week of October and we happened upon the letter P for this week’s episode, I could not pass up the opportunity to cover Pumpkins as a magical tool. This is the time of year where Florida is finally getting a taste of cooler weather and I can actually open the windows, or spend any amount of time outside without risk of heat stroke, so needless to say I am very excited. Pumpkins are always the first thing I pick up once the weather starts to cool as they double as adorable decorations, edible goodies, and magical tools. Pumpkins are associated with wishes, abundance, fertility, love, protection, banishing, prosperity, creativity, growth, harvest, home, the element water, and many lunar and Celtic deities. So get your pumpkin carving kits out and let’s make some magic.
